George Foreman is beautiful: his compassion and humanity always set him apart. Thanks for the uploads.

George is unbelievable. He took the opportunity to shine a light on mental health and how it affects many lives. He handled the situation with love and compassion. Also saying he wanted to go up and hug Oliver and tell him everything is going to be alright. And telling his family members to embrace him. He used his platform as only he could. I hope more of us can strive to be as great a human as George is. Love you George!

George is a very decent man.... When he said he just wanted to go in and give McCall a hug.

Fair plat to George. The guy just had a breakdown In front of the world and all want to kick him when he's down. George understands the real struggles. He has empathy.

This fight is one of the many reasons why the 90s was easily the most......'bizarre'.......era in heavyweight history: George Foreman winning the title at age 45, Andrew Golota's two disqualifications against Riddick Bowe, "fan-man" landing during the Riddick Bowe Evander Holyfield fight, Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ears, etc., etc. Absolutely hilarious and strange to see Oliver McCall have a mental breakdown in the middle of the fight; awesome stuff. McCall truly was a 'loose cannon' and in some ways a psycho. He was tagged pretty well by Lewis on more than several occasions but was never even hurt. McCall, in fact, never went down in his long career in any fight he ever fought.

I will say McCall was never stopped never dropped in a fight, had a chin of granite. Usually tough. But his outside the ring problems consumed him. Drugs, trouble with the law, etc. it’s remarkable that he still became heavyweight champion of the world.

This was such a weird year in heavyweight boxing, Tyson Bites, McCall had a nervous breakdown, Akinwande holds on like a cheap suit .

damn, McCall took a beating here but wasn't hurt at all even when taking shots with his hands down, his chin was unmatched but his defensive skills were also very underrated I think

Give Lewis credit for not taking McCall's head off. He had several opportunities to do it and he held off.

The 90s man... what an era in boxing... many bizarre things happened in the ring.

I felt bad for mcCall. I've suffered from mental illness most of my life so I can understand how he may felt

i clicked on this video after watching the first fight and had no idea what i was about to watch...

I believe Don King wanted to freeze Lewis out of the picture so much that if his man wasn't going to win he wanted him to do anything to make Lewis's win look bad so there would be no clamour for the unification with Tyson or Holyfield. Remember this fight happened because Tyson vacated the belt to avoid Lewis. Same story with the Akinwande fight to make Lewis look bad and the Holyfield scorecard draw and is the reason Lewis wouldn't fight Ruiz when King took his WBA belt off him.

Lennox jab is frustrating and I think Oliver mcall just said fuck it

This is the first time I've ever been touched so hard emotionally by a professional boxing fight. I could actually feel Oliver's pain because ive been there before more than once in life. Yes I know he struggled with drugs , but there was something going on deep down inside of that man. Something that had owned and tormented him for a long time. Before he could ever become sober from drugs he had to be set free and healed of that monster that was doing the damage in his life. The ( heart of the problem ) not just the drugs alone which SO MANY people over the years have made the mistake in thinking . Man it really broke my heart to see this man cry so hard in that ring. It was very obvious he was in some bigtime emotional pain. Larry Merchant was a complete asshole for making the comment of the man's fight purse should've been held up . Man that's bullshit

Oliver McCall was a very tough man. Granite chin among the toughest heavyweights, Ray Mercer was solid as rock as well. I dont see this victory as avenging a loss for lewis. Lewis is a great champion without a doubt although he was gifted a few decisions in my opinion.

I truly hope they didn’t hold his salary. The man clearly had a mental breakdown in front of the world. As he always does, Big George Forman displayed true compassion, and genuine sympathy for Oliver. Forman is an incredible man. I hope Oliver today is in a peaceful place in life.

When a fighter has a granite chin and is as physically strong as Oliver McCall it is extremely difficult to tell if they are hurt or in trouble. But NO fighter can keep absorbing bombs from Lennox Lewis, the way Oliver was here. I think Oliver realised there was no chance of victory. I think he realised that in round 2 or 3. And also he began to realise he was going to be KO`d or stopped. That is something Oliver could not contemplate. When Lennox was on top of his game, it was difficult in the extreme to land a decent punch on him, never mind beat him.

To me it look like he became frustrated in round 3 & gave up. Could have been other factors as well but I think the main thing was he couldn’t do much with Lewis.

I’m not religious but if all Christian’s were like George Foreman my god would it be difficult to deny god

This was a strange moment. It’s right up there with Tyson biting off an ear , a parachute landing in the ring and Duran crapping in a bucket.

This is the best that I've seen Lennox Lewis -watching his entire career on youtube from the beginning up till this fight- since the early 90s. He still doesn't throw many combinations and ties his opponents up every time they come into close range (either as an intelligent psychological ploy/and or because he's not good or confident enough to exchange punches with opponents at close range). By now, however, perhaps Emmanuel Steward's training was having full effect on Lewis's boxing skills: His jab in this fight was about as good as I have ever seen up through this point of his career and his right crosses and hooks were as fast and deadly as I have ever seen.

😳😳😳😳 de la cordura a la locura solo hay un momento

Everybody is hating on Lennox but he was actually just holding back because he seen McCall was going through something and wasn’t defending himself. It looked like he was just trying to look for a stoppage and not KO him cold even though he could’ve. He showed him some mercy here.

Poor McCall, must be rough having a mental breakdown during a live boxing match.

No entiendo porque no pararon antes la pelea Acaso no se dieron cuenta que el hombre ya no quería pelear?

This is just a sad affair all around. I really liked Oliver.

Lewis broke McCall down, making him quit yet receives absolutely no credit for doing so, the entire emphasis on this fight is McCall's supposed breakdown & it sucks, Lewis made him quit, catching him with a series of right hands in the third round, McCall had serious jelly legs, good showing no doubt.

How many people can stand in that ring with tears in eyes ?

Feel terrible for McCall. Sometimes you just lose it. He's a tough, skilled, intense guy. But he needed more time in recovery.

Dude was badly hurt in the 3rd round, especially at 1:07 or so, legs fully wobbled. He wanted out and Lewis gets no credit which is so annoying. Lewis is the best ever in my opinion

Oliver McCall truly bizarre scene but not without understanding the toll mental health and drug abuse can have

It was defo Lewi's' bogey man, but he dealt with it fantastically.

It was because of the white trunks

Lennox hit him so hard and often in the third round George's mental breakdown went mental.

Mcall started to look like dragonfly jones from Martin when he started posing after getting clocked 😂😂😂

Man. Goethe Forman is a hell of a man. God bless him

McCall's training must have been insane, he gained 6" of reach since the first fight here l4mg7VzgTXU

Super 💪

It’s great how all the American fighters who got whooped by Lennox were passed their prime, because as the Americans all know, while Tyson and the like got older, Lennox stayed the same age? 😂😂

The commentator is wrong. That's not disgrace.

Guy having a mental breakdown and his corner telling him go fight 1 of the baddest in the world smh. Imagine this happening in 2022.

Lennox had so much class . My favourite boxer of all time .

This is when he decided not to box anymore...

The inhumanity of everyone besides George and Mills is upsetting !! God bless George and Mills Lane. The others on the broadcasts are typical bad people who just want a show instead of having empathy.

4:09 song name?

McCall found god that week,.....and then Lewis showed him there is no god to help him!!!

DK pulled Oliver out of a rehab a day or two before the fight and somehow convinced Oliver to get in the ring against his wishes…. This was wrong! And I hope boxing finds a way to prevent something like this from ever happening again!

Never get hi then box

The guy had a breakdown live in the ring. People saying "hold up his purse" and "he's not getting paid" can go rot in hell.

boxing is the hardest and most lonely of sports ,if you have mental cracks it will widen them .felt very sorry for McCall .

Lennox showed great restraint

McCall's Trainer changing sides had a big effect on the struggle of McCall.

Don't smoke Coke kids!

I've had a few meltdowns at work and just fucked off the job. Oddly enough, it was always on Monday morning 😅

Just love George ❤

When your Mind and Heart are not in the Game. -- Really Seems McCall Knew after 2 Rounds Lewis was on a Mission and going to Dominate the fight all the way. McCall just lost the Will to step it up. He was a completely different fighter from the first fight

12:05 song name?

Psychological question asked before this happened?

Que le paso a mccall tenia depresion o trastorno bipolar lo que tuvo que pasar por su mente para hacer semenjante actuacion

Weird how they put together highlights that never show how he holds the head down of his opponent then uppercuts.

"He may want to have a child or 2 first before going back to Golota"😂

Dont do drugs people

This was just awful all around. The pain obvious pain McCall was in and the realization he didn't want to fight but couldn't quit either. His corners exasperation , begging him to fight back and tell them what's wrong. The ref not knowing what the hell to do. Everything being made worse by the crowd going crazy. Thank God Lewis was a good hearted man because there are boxers out there who just would have Killed McCall. Look how many times he could have crushed the back of his head. Wouldn't have even been his fault since McCall kept turning it to him

Real shame Lennox didn't halt the fight and ask Oliver if he was OK. It would have been an amazing moment - he was hurting bad.

Likely the Mcall is suffer what ever happened to Mcall other wise Lewis will never be the world champion in the first place 😆😄😁😬

Buster Douglas lo golpeo aun mas duro que Lewis. Mccall podria haber seguido peleando, pero se ve que tenia pocas posibilidades de ganar

Ridiculous to see Lennox Lewis celebrating the win, I don't know what he thought there was to celebrate

lets see if ryan garcia will do the same vs Haney

Yup round 3, around 2 min left he decided to quit...

The poor guy was under extreme stress and then had to go to court not get paid and fined yay boxing so much fun lol

In hindsight it's natural to feel bad for his mental state, but there's just too much at play in boxing outside the ring, beyond just the seats purchased and television coverage, advertisement etc, there are millions upon millions of dollars in bets. The life of the crowd cheering during a fight aside from rooting for your guy is mostly anticipation of winning bets, big money, and the mental state of the fighter is completely irrelevant to everyone involved.

SERINGAN APAPUN PUKULAN JANGAN DIABAIKAN , KALAU TERUS MENERUS BISA KEOK (KO)😎

"Lewis wants to blame his weight on the fact that he's grown an inch since he last fought. I think if you believe that I could probably sell you some ocean side real estate here in Vegas". 😅😂

Boxing in the gutter here. This should have been stopped in Round 4.

big george on his layoff learned acting...

Seeing DON KING there already made it suspicious

Funny how some excuse Lewis's losses for not being focused in the first fight but not McCall and Rahman in the rematch.lmao

What a joke of a fight, McCall didn't even trained, they took him directly out of rehab to the ring. Prime McCall knocks Lewis out 9 out of 10.

How Much Money Did They Pay to Beat Lenax Lewis?

Drugs or Mental breakdown. Pray for the man.

Skip the first 20mins

LL is always so ungracious about his opponents....

I think Oliver realised he literally wasn`t going to land a glove on Lennox. Tears of frustration.

damnn he really lost his mind out there

Lewis goat...feel sorry mcall though

Goerge should be a Pastor!

McCall had to be on some type of drugs before this fight.

Lewis was knocked out by two bums in his prime (Mccall and Rahman).

Lewis can only fight the man in front of him

"When you've got reach you can do whatever you want." Really, George? Do you mean you can have someone throw a right hand over the jab, and knock you out, like McCall did to Lewis the first time?

This referee is ruining a good fight

Mcall is not strong enough mentally to fight world class heavyweights.

This fight should never have been decided, lewis went through with another fluke

Heard the mental breakdown was because he was forced to throw the fight . That’s crazy if it’s true

That was drugs causing that. No doubt. Crazy I just read he ended up getting his purse minus a 250k fine.

NETFLIX make this a sensitive documentary, on mental health, boxing, fame, success, failure, money, family, pressure and drugs please - NOT a shame project!

Lennox would take Best of 3 vs most just like Ali

If I was Lewis I would have not keep on hitting him when he stopped fighting. It was cowardly. He would've won by points anyway! It's also embarrassing how he smiles after the "win", as if beating a guy who doesn't fight back was somekind of great achievement. All that being said, Lewis is still the best. He really broke the guy.

Lennox Lewis could not knock him out
